Ever since I got my Android phone, I wanted a Sirius app to listen at the gym or out and about, but non ever showed up in the Android Market. Before you do anything, you have to go into application settings and check the box that allows apps from outside the market. There's no widget yet, but it looks really nice and is better than the snazzy Yahoo widget player I'm used to.
Well…it was released on their website about 2 months ago and you can download it straight to your phone: http://www.siriusxm.com/android/indexm.html
Once it downloads (its a 4mb file), run the .apk file and it will install.
Its a tad more bandwidth-intensive than Pandora, so areas of weaker connection will affect your playback and using the browser may as well, but that's not the case on a good wifi connection. It runs in memory as 21mb, but doesn't seem to suck a lot of processor or battery; I'll keep monitoring.
